see the clothes beneath, some sudden

all done in moment. If he had meant
to get her out of the house with speed

at their weekly meeting a wonderful expe-
rience which no has had the past year He
is the pastor Of Michigan Avenue Meshodist
church, and year ago his health was so
bad that his physician told him he would
have to rest at least a whole year. Ii was
with great reluctance that he agreed to do
this; it was the greatest sacrifice Of his life.
Some months afterward this weighed on his
heart SO much that he cried aloud unto the
Lord for Divine aid DIR. Williamson stated
that at that time he held a sweet and inds-
scribable communion with God, in which he
was assured that his health would be re-
stored. His physician had but recently as
sured him that he was as we'll as no over
was before, and he ascribes this wonderful
cure entirely TO Divine healing The reiat-
ing Of DIR. Williamson's experience caused
quite sensation, and many there were who
agreed with him that it was an example of
Divine healing
